...practice of paying for underage students’ booze with money funneled to its bank account by the College. UC leaders have seized the opportunity to prove their worth as mature, tactful participants in Harvard’s administrative structures, and have acquitted themselves flawlessly—it is doubtless only a matter of time before the College accedes to their eloquently, insistently stated demands.Last week, the College’s positively Jacobin interim dean, David Pilbeam, let the axe fall on the UC’s weekly party grants, the nascent micro-finance of Harvard’s social...
...insouciant spirit than we are to the earnest, hard-pressed (and well-played) Dan. When the rancher, desperately needing the $200 fee, signs on to escort the captured outlaw through hard country in order to catch the 3:10 to Yuma where a courthouse, a trial and, doubtless, a necktie party await Ben, we know where our moral interest is supposed to lie. But the road agent is a really cute and seductive guy, steadily luring Dan into reluctantly bonding with...
...Shwe's daughter, decked out in jewels, getting married in a lavish ceremony - this in a country where the average annual per capita income is just $225.

"It's a complete waste of money," says a senior journalist in Rangoon who asked not to be named for fear of being arrested. "The same money...
...Sarkozy critical ballast to ride out union protests against controversial measures being prepared. Meanwhile, the media savvy Sarkozy knows from his first 100 days (not to mention his mega-hyped vacation) that the French public can't get enough coverage of its young, modern leader - a fascination he'll doubtless exploit to fully explain and sell reform he expects to provoke resistance. Should such exposure allow Sarkozy to push through reform that French governments have backed away from for over a decade, he'll doubtless consider any unflattering flab of his own exposed in that process as a price worth...
...Serious historians will doubtless mutter, tut and quibble over these simplistic comparisons. But the commuting or holidaying laity will lap them up, as will anyone with a professional interest in globalization. The anarchists, environmentalists, nativists and trade unionists among the latter will certainly be interested to learn that they, too, have their predecessors - factory workers in 18th century England rioted over imported Indian cotton, while abolitionists raged against the market forces and military superiorities that respectively drove and enabled whites to turn blacks into slaves...
